Trump Just Confessed To Committing Crimes And Blew Up His Presidency With One Tweet

There are signs that President Trump has retreated to his mental happy place of the 2016 election as Trump took to social media to defend himself against the Russia scandal by claiming that Hillary Clinton may have gotten away with crimes while complaining that he should be allowed to get away with crimes too.

Trump tweeted:

Trump’s defense that he should be allowed to get away with crimes, because Hillary Clinton may have gotten away with crimes too has all the hallmarks of someone who has become unhinged from reality. If I went to the police and complained that I should be allowed to rob a bank because other people have gotten away with bank robbery, they would think I was insane, and at best explain to me that this is not how the law works.

There is no evidence that Hillary Clinton committed crimes. Trump imagines Hillary Clinton crimes so that he can justify his very real potential crimes.

The man who ran on locking Hillary Clinton up oversees an administration that has declined to investigate Clinton because she hasn’t done anything wrong.

However, Trump’s tweet reads like a man who is confessing to crimes, because he is upset that he can’t get away with them too.

The American people are watching the President mentally crumble under the strain of the Russia scandal.
